This final played on a very good surface at the home of Wellington Rec in Millbrook Larne had everything you could ask for as both teams went on the attack for the entire duration of the game. Ballyclare went in front on the 3rd minute after hesitancy in the Carnlough defence saw Sammy Duff take full advantage before picking his spot to score for Ballyclare. Carnlough were unlucky to see a cross cup shot from Henry Morgan come off the crossbar on the 10th minute. Carnlough got back on level terms on the 28th minute when a good move down the right wing saw Alexander Johnston score with a shot in the bottom corner of the net. Chances then came and went for both teams after this but at half-time the teams were still level. The second saw both teams on attack with lots of good football and chances for both teams but Keepers Robert Clarke for Ballyclare and Declan O’Neil for Carnlough keep their goals intact. The game was then going into stoppage time when a brilliant run by Philip McKendry from his own half down the right wing saw him pass the ball to Niall McAllister who in turn put Henry Morgan clear on the inside the box to rifle a shot into the Ballyclare net which sent the Carnlough support into raptures and won the game for Carnlough at the final whistle.

After the final whistle the League Chairman Ian Shiels Presented the Cup to the Carnlough Captain Henry Morgan.

The league also wish to thank Wellington Rec for the use of their excellent facilities and to the large crowd of spectators from both side who were in attendance..
